I take pride in my practice and I really enjoy helping my clients through an unfamiliar road.

I started my career as a civil litigator in a small firm. I did this for less than a year and instead pursued my passion for being in the courtroom and helping people by becoming a Deputy Public Defender for the County of Riverside. I practiced criminal defense with the Public Defender’s Office for over five years, handling thousands of cases ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. In handling those cases, I conducted hundreds of preliminary hearings, motions and trials.  I also gained extensive invaluable experience in the niche area of juvenile law having represented hundreds if not thousands of children being charged with crimes.  Working as a Public Defender in Riverside was a very rewarding experience especially in the time I was there. While I was there, we dealt with a very tough District Attorney’s office and this helped mold me into the knowledgeable, aggressive, and fearless attorney that I am now.. I offer a free consultation on your cases. For more information, please visit my website at .

I spent the first 30+ years of career in the largest law firms in the world, including in various management positions.  In 2011, I decided that my clients no longer needed that infrastructure (or overhead), and opened my own firm.  It has worked out quite well for my clients, my family, and me.

I spent my first eight (8) years of practice in the San Francisco Bay area. I represented clients in a variety of civil and criminal matters. The bulk of my civil practice focused on juvenile dependency and family law. Juvenile dependency cases involve children who have been abused and neglected and placed in foster care while their parents go through rehabilitation. Accordingly, one of the most crucial decisions made about these children, early on, is where they will be placed. Placement in a foster care home or with a suitable relative may determine if they will ultimately be reunited with their biological parents or adopted.. My experience is dependency law has translated well into my current family law practice. It provides me with a unique perspective that other family law practitioners may not possess. Thus, in addition to represening mothers and fathers on a private basis, I am also appointed by local judges to represent children in family law custody disputes.. I relocated to Southern California in May 1999. My current practice includes family law with an emphasis on child custody and child support.  I also represent minors in Probate Guardianship proceedings. I continue to represent foster- adopt parents, aka de facto parents, in Dependency matters. With the advent of Covid, I have added consumer bankruptcy back to my practice. A portion of my practice is now focused on helping my family law clients file for bankruptcy after divorce.
